This can be done easily with a custom function hooked in woocommerce_add_cart_item_data
filter hook, that will store your custom data in cart item, once product is added to cart via a GET request.
Optionally you can use a 2nd hooked function to display that data on cart and checkout. This will also allow you to check that the data is correctly set in cart item.
The code:
// Set custom data as custom cart data in the cart item
add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_cart_item_data', 'save_custom_data_in_cart_object', 30, 3 );
function save_custom_data_in_cart_object( $cart_item_data, $product_id, $variation_id ) {
if( ! isset($_GET['custom_price']) || ! isset($_GET['custom_reference_meta']) )
return $cart_item_data; // Exit
// Get the data from the GET request
$custom_price = esc_attr( $_GET['custom_price'] );
$custom_reference_meta = esc_attr( $_GET['custom_reference_meta'] );
// Set the data as custom cart data for the cart item
$cart_item_data['custom_data']['custom_price'] = esc_attr( $_GET['custom_price'] );
$cart_item_data['custom_data']['custom_reference_meta'] = esc_attr( $_GET['custom_reference_meta'] );
return $cart_item_data;
}
// Optionally display Custom data in cart and checkout pages
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_item_data', 'custom_data_on_cart_and_checkout', 99, 2 );
function custom_data_on_cart_and_checkout( $cart_data, $cart_item = null ) {
if( isset( $cart_item['custom_data']['custom_price'] ) )
$cart_data[] = array(
'name' => 'Custom price',
'value' => $cart_item['custom_data']['custom_price']
);
if( isset( $cart_item['custom_data']['custom_reference_meta'] ) )
$cart_data[] = array(
'name' => 'Custom reference',
'value' => $cart_item['custom_data']['custom_reference_meta']
);
return $cart_data;
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
